I just picked up this CHERRY 94 Accord LX 4dr (5th Gen, F22B2, auto) from the original owners who only racked up just under 1300 miles per year. The mileage was consistent (verified by CarFax and by the stack or service receipts from the dealer), so it didn't sit for years and years. The old couple probably drove it to church, the grocery store and to cash their pension checks for 14 years!

Everything works perfectly and it looks/smells absolutely like new. The only issue I need help with is the valves. I suspect they need adjusting because there is noticeable clatter at cold start up, and it gets a little better once warm but doesn't go away. The engine uses no oil or fluids, runs flawlessly with excellent power, but is just a little noisier than I would expect. I've owned diesels before, and it reminds me them.

I need help in finding the best manual or on-line procedure for adjusting these valves. Who can help?

Thanks!

 

I gotta be honest with you, it sure sounds to me like that engine is shot...you should probably just go ahead and dump that car off on someone else for real cheap and get out while you can.

I'll buy it!
